I think you ment 30,000 points? hehe

Addis · 25-10-2004, 08:49 AM

Lol. I should have done my first WU in a few days.

Addis · 27-10-2004, 05:17 PM

Stupid client can't connect to the work server, even though it says I've finished my WU.

Big B · 27-10-2004, 05:46 PM

You'll have that. It'll keep trying to upload the WU every so often until it can upload it. Meanwhile, it'll work on a new WU.

ninja fetus · 27-10-2004, 10:27 PM

i've never had a problem uploading, i guess I'm a lucky one!

Addis · 28-10-2004, 11:34 AM

I'm on the stats page but still havn't sent ht WU yet. It keeps on saying 'coulld not connect to work server'. Getting the console client when it does finish.

This might be a noob qestion but what do you mean 30,000WU

Big B · 28-10-2004, 09:40 PM

WU=Work Units.

Actually, that should be points. My bad...why didn't I realize it earlier?

It's a measure of data that's been processed through the Folding @ Home distributed computing project. It's a totally volunteer thing to do. Basically, you download and install the distributed computing software and it runs in the background, using CPU cycles you don't. F@H in particular is an ongoing project to help find cures for cancer and other such diseases. People can go solo, but mostly join a team, like ours. Usually, they're members of other techie forums, like [H]ard|OCP and 2CPU (which, ATM, are out of our league).

Big B · 28-10-2004, 09:49 PM
